here is why barack obama is not a socialist. i will give you one example. obama care. people say that obama care is a government takeover of health care, but there's a slight problem with the government takeover of health care in obama care. there is no government option, and, b, what barack obama did in a word is he said to 22 million people in america, you have to go and now buy private health insurance. this is shocking. he said to america's big five insurers, you're not going to get 22 million new paying customers? there's the socialism in that. he runs this ad. i don't understand spanish despite the fact i took two years of it. i can look at that ad and i can see what they're saying is that the barack obama is a socialist. there's nothing about him that's socialistic at all. in fact, obama care was a boon to the private health insurance industry. so it's kind of a far as and itand it's a little bit of a stretch and it's fearmongering. i don't know of anybody in the latino community that look at that and say it's credible. >> to that point jimmy calls it fearmonger
